[The landscape feels so natural until the outcroppings make themselves known, accented by the steam. Alucard does not mind a good foggy Horizon space, he'd be the worst sort of hypocrite if he acted otherwise, but there's a different patina here. His is a part of the weather. This is part of the geology, or the earth or....
the ground, so it seems, as he carefully walks along towards the steps that lead to the mountain itself. Down being the source makes sense, and he pauses to recall how many other Summoned have decided to include that particular direction in their Domain. Not many spring to mind, and he pauses as he looks downward into it.
The pull of politeness versus genuine curiosity of what the space might look like fight for a few moments. Curiosity wins, but Alucard is careful as he moves downward. Not because the smell is strong (it is) but because down means that escape is harder. Even if he can be bats. (Hell, the bats would feel at home in a cave.)
So downward further and further he moves, careful to be feather light in his footsteps and not to pause at any given sight too much.
Well, until he gets into the cavern's middle. The claw marks? Those have his attention. They're deep and they're huge. Only a large creature could create something like that.
If he's worried about disturbing any of those creatures, Alucard doesn't bother to show it. He takes advantage of the deeply stupid ability that vampires and dhampirs alike have to float and goes to look at them up close and personal. Now he'll linger. Now he'll place his fingers over the gouges to examine how deep they'll go.
Now he'll--
--turn. There's noise coming that isn't from him.]
